Dr. Fred Kriegel Performs Bone Grafting for Dental Implant Placement in Hartsdale and Riverside, CT

Some patients do not have the proper amount of bone mass in their jaw to allow for the placement of dental implants. However, thanks to recent developments in bone grafting, people who would not have qualified a few years ago are now able to replace their missing teeth with dental implants. In Hartsdale and Riverside, CT Dr. Fred Kriegel performs bone grafting to help his patients achieve a complete smile and optimal oral health.

There are several bone grafting techniques, but they can all be grouped into two types. The first type of bone grafting is the most extensive type and is usually performed by a specialist, such as an oral surgeon or periodontist. Always done as a surgery separate from dental implant placement, this first type makes large changes to the shape and size of the dental ridge for the sake of implants, which are usually not implanted until several months later.

The second type of bone grafting is usually performed if the jaw has enough bone for implant placement but not enough to completely cover the sides of the implant. These grafts are usually small and performed when dental implants are placed.

Whether you need bone grafting or not, if you are looking to receive dental implants, Dr. Fred Kriegel can make it happen in Hartsdale or Riverside, CT.
